Hi ~ I have taken this kitten to two vets to far for different opinions about her rib cage along with breathing issues.
One vet told me not to worry about the ribs as the kitten was still developing and the labored breathing was due to an upper-respiratory and given Lysine .. I never went back
Second vet told me same thing, she will grow into her ribs. Her litter mate does not have this.
It feels like when I place her on her back, I feel only a few ribs coming together in between her forearms, then her tummy sticks out. I feel ribs running down the side of her body, but it just seems the ribs inbetween her forearms are just very different then what I feel with her sibbling.
Has anyone ever heard of this, could this be congenital?
